From December 2004 until December 2007, The Alewife newspaper covered the neighborhood of North Cambridge, Mass. It was a wonderful community of businesses, writers and photographers. The paper is no longer printed, but this Web site continues both as an archive and as an ongoing blog dedicated, mostly, to this humble little corner of the universe.

Winter Solstice at the Alewife Reservation

Dear Neil and Althea:

I thought to pass on to The Alewife these wonderful photos of Sunday's
4th Annual Interfaith Solstice Celebration at the Alewife Reservation.
I think there was a fellow from The Alewife there but I didn't get a
chance to meet him. Ernie Kerwin is the photographer and I'm happy to
help tie the following participants to their photos (I'm just around
the corner in Tags so c'mon by):

There are a few others, like Dave Brown, Wildlife Specialist, and several folks from Belmont (including one who spoke about the days of
not-long-ago when the Little River teemed with Alewife on their
spawning run to Little Pond in Belmont). I'll look through the photos
for these folk for you.

I hope this strikes you as a good story for the next issue of The Alewife. After four years, it strikes me as an event not to be overlooked. My heart is always quickened by impromptu neighborhood interfaith gatherings like this.
